Increases are made at the shoulders and the center front and back, but shoulder increases end once the shoulders have reached the appropriate width. You can easily customize your size by extending shoulder increases or ending them sooner. Colors are intro-
duced with a row alternating “old” and “new” colors. If you are making the largest size, you MAY run out of a color before the prescribed number of rows, in which case, just start the next color sooner, and add something at the end. Circle the numbers that correspond to your size. Go through your colors, labeling from 1-10, starting at the top, with colors 9 & 10 used as trim. (Remember, add in a little something from your stash, just in case, if you’re making the size 6)
